Retro Fitness

Went in for the first time 1-23-25 as they opened and was greeted by Dylan, the guy is friendly, helpful, considerate, usually you walk into a gym and the person doesn’t even look up from their phone. The locker rooms were clean and smelled great, the showers were clean, the gym smelled great no nasty smell like you can find some places, then you workout and see this place has a reverse hyper ( great for lower back issues that everyone has ) , that’s incredible only ever seen those in a few specialized places, as well as the self powered treadmill, it’s crazy the unique pieces this place has. If you’re in the area and looking for an affordable gym that’s not going to feel like you have another damn car payment with how expensive gyms have gotten, this is your place. 10/10 couldn’t recommend higher.

Amazing gym, nice people and incredible staff. My favorite gym ever and I've been doing body building for 7 years. 💪 If you weren't sure before you are now, this is your new gym 🥰

My low score for this gym is mostly based on dates machines, I have visited newer retro fitness gyms and the equipment is much better and updated. Staff is friendly, cleanliness in the bathrooms is a 5 star ⭐️ score. Retro blends is a convenient thing for a very high price.

First let me start by saying that I am not someone who likes to give negative reviews for fun. If I am not happy with a service or something else, I normally just move along. I will, however, give a positive review when it is deserved. Unfortunately, this is not one of those times. My wife and I signed up for a 16 week challenge at the Retro Gym in Toms River, NJ in April. I have driven past many times and was actually looking forward to joining due to its close proximity to my job and home. The very first time we actually went in to work out is when I realized what a terrible mistake this was. I went to use the bathroom and was hit with a horrendous stench, like it hadn't been cleaned in awhile. I went to wash my hands, most of the faucets had worn handles, one of them was not even working. Paper towels all over the floor. It looked more like the floor of a nightclub at around 3 AM when the lights come on. You could definitely tell it hadn't been cleaned in some time. I warned my wife about using the bathroom unless she really needed to. Onto the equipment....just about every machine in this place has rips and tears in the padding. The padding is so worn out that there are jagged edges that actually ripped a few pairs of my wife's yoga pants. The handles that are used to attach to the cable machines are all completely worn out. They actually squeak when you use them. The metal indentations that are imbedded into the metal are completely worn out and smooth. Those little indentations are there so your hands don't slip while using the equipment. I have been a gym rat for a very long time...it takes a long time for human touch to wear out metal. That tells me that these handles have been here since this place opened. The rope attachments are frayed and there are only a couple of them. The safety locking knobs that are used to adjust the height/position of the pulleys have no pull knobs, you have to grab the metal stud that the knob screws onto to move the cable pulleys. There are 4 exercise bikes...one of them was not working for the entire 16 weeks that we were working out ...no out of order sign, or equipment out of service sign anywhere...just a bike that does not work. The kettle bells are so worn out that you have to guess what weight they are by size compared to the ones that actually did have a number still on them. All in all, this place is not a very well-kept gym. It is obvious that they put no money into it. We have since joined Planet Fitness and are 100% happy. Do yourself a favor, before you join this place, take a good look around. A really good look.

My friend bought a membership three weeks ago. manager said with membership he got he could bring a guest. we went those three weeks almost everyday using guest pass a lot. today my sister went to buy a membership the same one my friend has. she can bring her friend and the guy John who was working today was very rude. he said there is not membership that allows that. he refused to call the manager to speak and ask to make sure. he was jelling at my sister to the point that she joined crunch gym better in TR. and she can bring a guess there with no extra charge. stay away from this gym . people here are so rude and unprofessional. never coming back here again. i suggest go join a different gym. a couple around that i’m sure they will treat you better .
